Holts LOYGG8RA Gun Gum Repair Bandage

Product Information

Does anybody have any experience with these bandages (gum gum i think they're called) to patch up exhaust holes? If you have heatproof gloves, it may be safe to hold the exhaust where you think it’s blowing. This will help to muffle the bit that’s blowing and find the cause. yeah, itll pass. dont mention it to them though, emmisions is your only worry as exhaust is loaded with its own pressure in the test.... After some supreme cooling for your hard-driven pride and joy? Let’s take a look at some of the best car radiators on the market. A blowing exhaust can be caused by a wide range of problems, so we’ll examine each one in detail. And perhaps the best starting point is to identify exactly where it’s coming from, which isn’t always so easy. Where’s the exhaust blowing?

If an exhaust system is blowing around a join, it may be possible to seal it with exhaust paste. This helps to fill any gaps where a clamp is fitted. Dismantle the join, clean it with a wire brush, then apply some exhaust paste. Reassemble the join, fitting a new clamp if necessary. In some cases, running the engine will enable the exhaust paste to dry as the exhaust warms up and thus you have a fix for your blowing exhaust. Flexi-sections They should be considered a temporary repair, but can last for many months if applied correctly. I have found that a good seal can be achieved if you wrap some tin plate around the damaged section before applying the bandage. The Easy Fit Metal Repair Bandage is an exhaust repair kit from our Gun Gum range containing an adjustable wrap which can be fitted to bends in sections of exhaust or where a silencer box meets a pipe.

If air is blowing out of where you spray, it will be easier to spot the soapy liquid. This may turn into frothy bubbles, which are even easier to see.

A small hole can be the cause of a blowing exhaust and it really doesn’t have to be too big. Finding such a hole can be difficult, but our soapy water method can help. Once a hole has been found, clean the area with a wire brush or wheel to examine it. This will help to see if and how it can be repaired. Exhaust bandages Fumes leaking out of your exhaust in the wrong place can increase your car’s emissions, and they can also damage other parts of your car. OEM car speakers can be a little underwhelming, especially if you own an older car. We take a look at everything you need to know about the different types of car speakers before you upgrade.Providing the exhaust is securely mounted, and free from leaks, it is not a failure if an exhaust bandage or sealant - such as gum gum is used to repair a leak. Common problems with some exhaust systems have resulted in repair sections becoming available. This often arises on an expensive component, such as a catalytic converter or DPF. If it’s common for a connecting end to corrode and break, then a repair section may be available. This will usually involve removing the component to fit the repair.
